Kibworth Cricket Club set to host Leicestershire women’s team in One Day Cup match

The Foxes will face Middlesex in a 50-overs per side match starting at 10.30am, looking for a win to move up the Metro Bank One Day Cup Women’s League 2 table.

The Foxes currently sit sixth in the table with 10 points from six matches and have two games of the league phase remaining to try and finish in the top four and reach the knockout stages.

The Women’s One Day Cup League 2 is the second tier of the competition, with Glamorgan, who currently compete at this level, set to join the Tier One competition in 2027.

A further two counties are set to be awarded Tier One status in 2029.

Last month Kibworth Cricket Club hosted the Leicestershire Foxes men’s team in a dramatic One Day Cup fixture.

Leicestershire chased down a target of 236 runs, winning by two wickets against Gloucestershire with 10 balls remaining.

The Foxes men’s team went on to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition and are due to host a play-off winner in the semi-finals at the County Ground in Leicester on Sunday August 16.

Kibworth Cricket Club said prior to last month’s men’s match: “Hosting county cricket is something our club is incredibly proud of.

“Events like this bring visitors into our community and generate vital income that helps support grassroots cricket, our facilities and over 300 junior and senior members throughout the year.”
